Re: [edk2-rfc] UEFI terminal console keyboard type extend for Putty

["Ni, Ray" <ray.ni@intel.com>]

Zhichao,
Can you please summarize what terminal types are supported by EDKII Terminal driver today and what you are going to add through this RFC?

For the newly added terminal types, where is the mapping defined in public space?

Thanks,
Ray
